BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention is related to a magnetic buckle structure,and more particularly to a magnetic buckle mounted on a purse forlocking the flap on a main body of the purse. The processing procedureof the magnetic buckle is simplified so that the processing time isshortened and the cost is lowered. In addition, the discs and theattractive body are firmly fixed on the purse by large contacting areaso that the magnetic buckle is not likely to detach from the purse andcan be more durably used.

[0002]FIG. 1 shows a conventional magnetic buckle including anattractive body 10 and an attractive block 11. The attractive body 10 iscomposed of an attractive block 11, a magnet 12 and a receiving cap 13.Each attractive block 11 is composed of a C-shaped leg member 14, a disc15 and a rivet 16. The magnet 12 is a ring body formed with a centralthrough hole 121. The receiving cap 13 is made of metal material andformed with a central receiving hole 131. The receiving cap 13 is formedwith an internal receiving cavity 132. The circumference of the openingof the receiving cavity 132 is formed with several bendable lugs 133.The leg member 14 has a locating plate 141 formed with a centralcircular hole 142. Two bending legs 143 respectively extend from twoopposite sides of the locating plate 141. The disc 15 is a metal-madecircular sheet formed with a central through hole 151 for the stem 162of the rivet 16 to pass therethrough. The disc 15 has an outer diameterequal to the inner diameter of the receiving cavity 132 of the receivingcap 13. The head 161 of the rivet 16 is smaller than the receiving hole131 of the receiving cap 13 and larger than the through hole 151 of thedisc 15.

[0003] When assembled, as shown in FIG. 2, the stems 162 of the tworivets 16 are first respectively passed through the through holes 151 ofthe discs 15 and then passed through the circular holes 142 of the legmembers 14. Then the rivets 16 are processed to rivet the leg members 14with the discs 15 with the locating plates 141 tightly attachingthereto. At this time, the assembly of the attractive block 11 iscompleted. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the magnet 12 is received inthe receiving cavity 132 of the receiving cap 13. Then, one attractiveblock 11 is placed into the receiving cavity 132 with the disc 15immediately adjacent to outer face of the magnet 12. Then, the bendablelugs 133 of the receiving cap 13 are inward bent to retain the magnet 12and the attractive block 11 inside the receiving cap 13. At this time,the assembly of the attractive body 10 is completed.

[0004] When applied to a purse A, as shown in FIG. 4, each of the mainbody B and the flap C of the purse A is first cut with two slits Dopposite to the other. Then, the bending legs 143 of the attractive body10 from outer side to inner side are passed through the slits D of themain body B. then, the bending legs 143 are further bent to attach tothe main body B. Similarly, the bending legs 143 of the attractive block11 are passed through the slits D of the flap C. Then, the bending legs143 are further bent to attach to the flap C.

[0005] The above structure has some shortcomings as follows:

[0006] 1. Each of two independent attractive blocks 11 is composed ofthe leg member 14 and the disc 15 riveted therewith by the rivet 16. Oneof the attractive blocks 11 is further associated with the magnet 12 andthe receiving cap 13 to form the attractive body 10. Then the attractivebody 10 and the attractive block 11 are respectively applied to the mainbody B and flap C of the purse A. The processing procedure iscomplicated and troublesome. Therefore, the processing operation istime-consuming and the manufacturing cost is higher.

[0007] 2. The bending legs 143 are passed through the slits D of themain body B and the flap C of the purse A and then bent. The connectingarea is quite small. After a period of use, the slits D are subject totearing and the bending legs 143 tend to bend up due to pulling forceexerted onto the attractive body 10 and attractive block 11. Therefore,the attractive body 10 and attractive block 11 are likely to attach fromthe purse and the magnetic buckle can be hardly durably used.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] It is therefore a primary object of the present invention toprovide a magnetic buckle structure. Prior to mounting on a purse, it isonly necessary to place the magnet and a disc into the receiving cavityof the receiving cap and then bend the bendable lugs of the receivingcap to fix the magnet and the disc in the receiving cap. Such processingprocedure is simplified so that the processing time is shortened and thecost is lowered.

[0009] It is a further object of the present invention to provide theabove magnetic buckle structure in which the discs and the attractivebody of the magnetic buckle are firmly fixed on the purse by largecontacting area so that the magnetic buckle is not likely to detach fromthe purse and can be more durably used.

[0010] The present invention can be best understood through thefollowing description and accompanying drawings wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0018] Please refer to FIG. 5. The present invention includes anattractive body 20, three discs 23 and two rivets 24. The attractivebody 20 is composed of a receiving cap 21, a magnet 22 and a disc 23.The receiving cap 21 is made of metal material and formed with a centrallarger receiving hole 211. The receiving cap 21 is formed with aninternal receiving cavity 212. The circumference of the opening of thereceiving cavity 212 is formed with several outward extending bendablelugs 213. The magnet 22 is a ring body formed with a central throughhole 221 larger than the inner diameter of the receiving hole 211 of thereceiving cap 21. The magnet 22 has a thickness slightly smaller thanthe depth of the receiving cavity 212. The disc 23 is a metal-made thinsheet formed with a central smaller through hole 231. The disc 23 has anouter diameter equal to the inner diameter of the receiving cavity 212of the receiving cap 21. The head 241 of the rivet 24 is smaller thanthe receiving hole 211 of the receiving cap 21 and larger than thethrough hole 231 of the disc 23. The stem 242 of the rivet 24 is smallerthan the through hole 231 of the disc 23.

[0019] When assembled, as shown in FIG. 6, the magnet 22 is placed intothe receiving cavity 212 of the receiving cap 21 and then a disc 23 isattached to rear face of the magnet 22. Under such circumstance, themagnet 22 and the disc 23 right fill up the receiving cavity 212.Finally, the bendable lugs 213 of the receiving cap 21 are inward bentto tightly press and retain the magnet 22 and the disc 23 in thereceiving cap 21. At this time, the assembly of the attractive body 20is completed and the center of the attractive body 20 is formed with astepped hole 201 having larger outer portion and smaller inner portion.

[0020] When mounted on a purse A, as shown in FIG. 7, each of the mainbody B and the flap C of the purse A is first formed with a smallcircular hole E opposite to the other. Then, two discs 23 arerespectively laid on the inner and outer faces of the flap C with thethrough holes 231 aligned with the small circular hole E. then, a rivet24 is sequentially passed through a disc 23, the flap C and the otherdisc 23 to rivet the same together and make the discs 23 tightly attachto the flap C. Then, the attractive body 20 is positioned on outer sideof the main body B with the disc 23 facing the outer face of the mainbody B. Finally, the last disc 23 is placed on the inner face of themain body B with the stepped hole 201 of the attractive body 20 and thethrough hole 231 of the disc 23 aligned with the small circular hole E.Then, the other rivet 24 is sequentially passed through the stepped hole201 of the attractive body 20, the small circular hole E of the mainbody B and the through hole 231 of the disc 23 to rivet the sametogether and make the attractive body 20 and the disc 23 tightly attachto the main body B. At this time, the assembly is completed.

[0021] The above structure has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. Prior to mounting on the purse A, it is only necessary toplace the magnet 22 and a disc 23 into the receiving cavity 212 of thereceiving cap 21 and then bend the bendable lugs 213 of the receivingcap 21 to fix the magnet 22 and the disc 23 in the receiving cap 21.Such processing procedure is simplified so that the processing time isshortened and the cost is lowered.

[0023] 2. The rivets 24 are passed through the two discs 23 attaching tothe flap C and the disc 23 and attractive body 20 of the main body B.The discs 23 are fixed on the main body B and the flap C by largecontacting area. Therefore, the discs 23 and the attractive body 20 arefirmly fixed without detachment from the main body B or the flap C.Accordingly, the magnetic buckle is more durable.
